From: "the rags of time..." <mbarker@MIT.EDU>
Subject:      [WRITERS] INT: The eMJay Categories... one more time!

(to vote or not to vote, that's a question?)

since the eMJay pages aren't what one might call organized (some might even
call them dis, but we shall forge onward!), allow me to repeat a bit...

Vote by marking up the following list of categories (add a name here, a name
there, etc.) and sending the result to Words from the Monastery
<jackechs@EROLS.COM> and tink <mbarker@mit.edu>.

When?  No later than...midnight, Dec. 13, which is...eek, that's TOmorrow!
faster, fingers, faster... (or for those of us who dictate, faster larynx
faster!)

Any other questions?

Then on with the list!  (hi, ho, shivers!)

Categories De Jour (I hope:-)

To see oursels as ithers see us!
It wad frae monie a blunder free us,
An' foolish notion."
